    Description: Section 185 of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). 
(Pub. L. 105-220) requires funds recipients to keep records and submit 
such reports as may be required by the Secretary of Labor ``to permit 
the tracing of funds to a level of expenditure adequate to ensure that 
the funds have not been spent unlawfully.'' The WIA Final Rules at 20 
CFR 667.300 require annual plans and quarterly performance reports from 
all ``direct grant recipients''.
    The primary uses of the data under WIA 167 Migrant and Seasonal 
Farmworker Youth Program are to provide material reports to the 
Secretary of Labor, respond to Congressional inquiries, support 
Congressional testimony on behalf of the program and to identify areas 
of technical assistance need and performance improvement. Data is also 
used to establish performance standards for each of the required 
performance measures per regulations at part 669, subpart D, sections 
669.500 and 669.510.

Darrin A. King,
Acting Departmental Clearance Officer.
